After much back and forth debate, I will be spending this weekend at Lake Texoma with my Dad, Christie and Drew. The Lake is unfortunately under a blue-green algae warning, meaning contact with the water is prohibited :( But atleast we are going to get away for a weekend and I get to spend some long overdue time with my Dad.
I am notoriously known as a "heavy packer." Meeting 50lb limits on a airplane is a huge task for me. I remember going on a Mexico mission trip in high school and being the bud of everyones joke because it took two grown men to lift my bag into the bus. I just like my clothing options and the comfort of home ok!
I have recently discovered a way to keep my last minuted suitcase add-ins on the low down and therefore my luggage light as a feather (not really but atleast it is liftable by one grown man!)
I implemented this packing system about 2 months ago when I went to Abilene for the weekend. I make a list of the days I will be gone and write out my outfit piece by piece. I do this for every day and make a similar column for my nighttime clothes. This way I know exactly what I am going to wear and do not need to bring 5 outfits for backups for one day or night. It also helps keep my packing time down because I just work through my list.
Because we are staying in tents and a 5th wheel with not much space I have already made my list for my trip this weekend and packing will take me no time at all tonight!
Everyone have a very Lovely Labor Day and the end of Summer!! It felt like Fall this morning, crisp breeze and 80's next week!
